A Kissimmee school resource officer has been accused of child abuse, according to police.

Investigators said an altercation happened May 8 between Officer Mario Badia and a 13-year-old boy in the front office of Kissimmee Middle School, where he works.

According to an arrest report, surveillance video shows Badia shoving the student in the chest, lifting him off his feet and then slamming him to the ground, with the student showing no signs of resistance.

Badia also torqued the victim's wrist for 42 seconds and the boy was in visible pain, police said.

“At this point, there will be an internal investigation. Until that's completed, I wouldn't want to speculate on anything,” Kissimmee police spokeswoman Stacie Miller said.

Badia was arrested and booked into the Osceola County Jail. His bond is set at $5,000.

"If an officer is doing that, how should I trust them? How should I know they will protect me instead of hurt me?” student Devonta Griffith said.

"It's not a safe place for them to be, if that's the case,” parent Karen Battle said.
